📍 Piazza Pietro d’Illiria, Aventine Hill, Rome

Discover one of the most romantic and peaceful corners of Rome: the Orange Garden (Giardino degli Aranci), a quiet oasis lined with fragrant bitter orange trees and offering a breathtaking panoramic view over the Tiber River and St. Peter’s Basilica. Designed in 1932 by architect Raffaele De Vico, the garden rests on the medieval walls of the ancient Savelli fortress, adding a touch of history to its natural charm.

A perfect mix of nature and architecture, the garden is especially magical in spring, when the scent of orange blossoms fills the air and the city skyline glows in the background.
